Music on iPhone keeps pausing by itself

My music keeps pausing by itself! The volume bar is still there but it justs keeps pausing over and over again. On about the 3rd time it pauses i have to take the headphones out and put them back in to get the volume bar back and then it goes right back to what it was doing. Please dont comment to restore the phone, or try new headphones i've tried both. Some people were telling me that a file needs to be deleted to stop this and the only way to do that is to jailbreak the iphone, but there is no jailbreak with iOS7. if you have ANY suggestions beside restore, PLEASE HELP.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2

There may be dirt or water in the headphone jack, when youre using your headphones is would usually work but if there is some stuff in there, itll block your music. you might see that on your lock screen the part where it shows you what your listening on like "this i phone" or "headphones" or whatever, youll see that when it pauses itll go from headphones to i phone, but when you press play again itll go back to headphones. You can fix this by going to your local electronics store and ask them to blow the headphone jack with compressed air, thats how i fixed my phone, it literally takes 20 seconds, or if you have one at home i guess you can do that too. Hope this helped

I'm having the exact same problem. My videos will also pause themselves as well. Happens when phone connected to car via Bluetooth as well. Very annoying. Never had the problem with iPhone 6.

I've narrowed this down to something tied to the cell network. I don't have the issue in airplane mode with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on, but as soon as I turn the cellular back on it pauses.

Turning off "hey Siri" has stopped my music from randomly pausing

And how to you delete something that is not an app?

Thanks

This is not the case as my iPhone does this when no headphones are attached.
